BUYING REAL PROPERTY IN CAMBODIA

The governing principal of Cambodian Land Law is that foreigner can’t hold 100% in real property within the Kingdom. Foreigners have ownership rights in private units of co-owned buildings only from the first (1st) floor up. The ground floors and underground floors cannot be owned by foreigners. However, legal mechanisms and documentation exist that allow foreigners fully control the purchase, sale and use of real property in which they have invested or form new company and benefit fully from any profits they make.
